This is fairly simple. Divide 2,871,000 by 10 and that's your answer!
Also, since you're dividing by a factor of 10 (or in this case, <em>10</em>) you can just take away as many places as are zeros in the number you're dividing from. This works for <em>10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, etc. </em>In this case, since there is only one zero in 10 you only take away one place marking, which gives you 287,100.
